That would imply there is a problem with the caddy's power supply.

This may not work for everyone but I figured I post because this was driving me nuts too. My external hardrive stopped working when I was plugging into my front usbs. I then plugged my camera in just to check it and the camera worked. when i plugged my harddrive in after that it worked fine but changed from drive letter F to G. Hope this helps someone... good luck!!

This device cannot start. (code 10)
I have:
Windows xp sp2
I think it says i have:
1. 2.0 usb port
and the rest dont say 2.0 by them anywhere, so i assume i have the 1.1?
the drive is a:
Western Digital-My Book "Essential Edition", 500GB

The best thing to do is find someone who has a usb2 machine and try your drive on that machine first. Pointless having you do a bunch of things if the drive and/or caddy is faulty.
If you post the make and model of your machine (dell, hp or whatever) or the make and model of you motherboard, I can look up the specifications and tell you what usb types you should have.
Ok.
k im back home. but like i was saying i have a Dell
i belive i have the 1.1 or w/e usb ports, but it worked for a long time untill recently.

Wheeuhhh! I must rest - tired after Googling 'Dell Service Tag'.
:)
ahhhh thanks ;)
i thinkkk i found it 9002425
No, it's a series of letters and numbers 5 or 6 characters...
"Your Service Tag is a unique five- to seven- digit alphanumeric (letter and number) code"
That isn't the Service Tag as far as I know, and the Express number is 8 digits.
